Wii U Forum

Lately I've been having trouble with my WiiU gamepad's connection to the console. Previously I could be a room and a half away and it would still stream. Now it disconnects from 6 feet away, literally. It's quite annoying and starting to piss me off. Anybody else having issues that they haven't had before?

Huh. You haven't moved the system or anything near it, have you? Anything that physically might be blocking the signal? The range can be heavily affected by materials it has to pass through.

If that doesn't help, I'd say the next step would be contacting Nintendo, they made it so they likely would have more solutions than anyone here. Worst case scenario, it's under warranty so they'd fix or repair it...
